Calabrese 1924.

–Hello guys, a few days ago i had the pleasure of being Annalisa Calabrese‘s guest, who is the fourth generation of the family Calabrese. She took me around his workshop which is a place where art, fashion and culture are perfectly combined.

TheCalabrese family have been on the map since 1924 for its tie making and specifically attributed to their invention of pleats on a tie (SEE PHOTO) or the line located in the tip of the two blades, so that they adhere to the best and optimum durability of the garment. This pence was coined by Annalisa grandfather who did not like that after time, the inner ply of the tie could protrude from the seams of union of the two parts of the tie.

The Calabrese. tie is completely Hand Made from the cut, which is carried out at 45° with the fabric, to stitching and rivets. Fabrics include silk, wool, cashmere of the best quality and can be printed or Jacquard. Today in addition to tie making, Calabrese. also offers a line of accessories that draw more tailoring of the tie, using the same materials and the same reasons.

After a tour in the laboratory, to discover how to create a tie, Annalisa showed me some records and collections of vintage fabrics, which are fascinating.

Here are some pictures that show the working of a tie and some accessories wonderfully crafted by Calabrese. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed my visit; see you soon, Nicola.
